In a world interconnected through a web of digital networks, every node or system in the network is assigned an address, called the IP address. The IP addresses are used to identify and distinguish nodes in the network. Additionally, these addresses are used as reference points by security experts to trace any malicious activities or for maintenance purposes. The IP addresses are graded through a measure called IP Reputation. The IP reputation score is a factor that decides how communication email security tools such as treat an email from a particular IP address.

Organizations approach MSPs (Managed Service Providers) to eliminate the added task of maintaining their IT operations.
